Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Best doctor I ever had
Dr. Forgey was my family doctor for the first 30 years of my life. Unfortunately, I moved out of state 10 years ago and have yet to find a suitable replacement in 12 attempts since. Great bedside manner. Treats the cause not the symptom. Careful not to over prescribe. Very knowledgeable and wise. Count your self lucky to be living near him.

Been with this man for 37 years, he is phenomenal! He listens, he is compassionate and understands a patients needs... He does not prescribe without necessity. In MY opinion there is no better doctor! His wait time is less than 20 minutes, and well worth it!
